About Jodi Shaw

My name is Jodi Shaw and I’m a published author, freelance writer and blogger that enjoys living in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia with my amazing husband, Corey (a brain injury survivor) my gorgeous son, Jake {1999} and my sweet boy, Trace {2006} born with mild cerebral palsy. Having boys has been so much, I have tried hard to teach them respect for women, themselves, and enjoy all aspects of their life from sports to cooking. I hope that our family can bring some inspiration to yours through sharing our story.

In 2010 I began sharing my family life on my blog Rants n’ Rascals with all of you. The ups and downs of raising a special needs child, having bipolar disorder myself, and being married to someone who has a brain injury. It was challenging at times, and tears were shed as I shared parenthood, my marriage and how blogging made me who I am today. It also made my readers part of our family as you came along for the ride.

In 2017 my boys no longer rascals, I made the tough decision to switch up my blog and focus on what mattered to me. My blog Rants n’ Rascals became Just Jodi – a place where I could create helpful articles sharing life lessons, parenthood, recipes, organization tips and tricks on a broader scale providing answers to questions we have each and every day.

Brother Love

Over the years you’ve watched my boys grow from little ones, now one a grown man (graduated and living on his own) and watched me grow as a mother. Our youngest is almost twelve now, and as we raise him through the pre-teen years, I plan on continuing to share products we love, recipe round-ups to help make meal planning more affordable for you guys, and ways to keep your life and home organized, along with more answers to those parenting questions we all have. My Weekend Notes are my most popular and personal posts so be sure you don’t miss those and sign up for my newsletter to get once a week posts sent to your inbox.
